The Art of Shaving After-Shave Balm

This give an excellent finish to a shave. I strongly suggest using the shaving oil as well. Apply hot water to dilate your pores, then apply the oil, then shaving cream, shave, and finally the after shave balm. The oil and balm make for an amazing shaving experience. Your face feels incredibly smooth afterward. I don't use it every day because it is a little more time consuming that just applying the shaving cream alone, but I do use the products above most of the time because of the great feel after.

I have been using this product since the last 10 odd months and the difference it has made in my morning shaving routine is just priceless. I have the entire kit, with the pre-shave oil, shaving cream, lathering brush and this after-shave balm (lavender). I also have the art of shaving book. This was my wonderful wife's gift to me on my birthday and I can't thank her enough. The book actually improved my shaving technique and my skin over a period of time...

I highly recommend this product to anyone who wants to enjoy shaving!!!

I ordered the lavender balm along with the AOS lavender shaving cream (which i like) and was disappointed in the moisturizing capabilities of the balm.
Although the smell is fantastic it didn't calm my sensitive skin at all. I have switched back to my old, cheaper standby (Gillette for sensitive skin).

Edit- I now use this balm after first applying another product first to calm my skin. I then apply AOS lavender balm
and have found that it works well as a sealing layer that has the added benefit of smelling terrific, so I feel fine now about having bought this product.
